Fujitsu passed the T730 notebook through the FCC yesterday.  The device, also known as the TH700, is part of Fujitsu’s T-Series lineup of tablet computers.

The T730 will feature an Intel Centrino 6200 Puma Peak WLAN module that provides 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi.  The device also features a Bluetooth module from CSR.

FCC documents don’t reveal much else about the T730.  We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

We first learned of Fujitsu’s T900 tablet on December 17, when the device made an appearance on the FCC.  The T900, also known as the Souther, is one of the first notebooks that we’ve seen with Intel’s new Arrandale (Core i7 M620) processor.

Today, the T900 made another appearance on the FCC, this time with a label pic (above).  We also learned that the T900 will be sold as the TH900 in the consumer market, and the device will feature 802.11 a/b/g/n thanks to an Intel Centrino Puma Peek 2×2 module.

Other than that, there’s not much new with today’s filing.  It does appear however, that the T900 is getting closer to its release.

A couple of Fujitsu tablets just popped up on the FCC.  We’re familiar with the LifeBook T5010, which is already on sale world wide.  However, the T900, codenamed ‘Souther’, is new to us.

According to Fujitsu’s test report, the T900 will feature Intel’s new i7-620M ‘Arrandale’ processor.  This dual core processor runs at 2.66 GHz, with a 4MB cache and an integrated graphics processor.

The T900 will feature a 13.3” WXGA display, and 802.11 a/b/g.  Unfortunately, the test report doesn’t tell us much more about the T900, but it does appear that it will be nearly identical in size and shape to the LifeBook T5010.

Earlier this month, Fujitsu announced a compelling multitouch MID called the UH900.  Weighing in at just 1.1 pounds, this tiny clamshell  device sports a 5.6” WXGA multitouch display and Intel Atom Z530 processor.  According to SlashGear, the device will retail for $1,417 in Hong Kong when it is released on December 17, 2009.

Today, the UH900 made an appearance on the FCC in a filing by Atheros.  Fujitsu will actually offer two identical versions of the device, the UH900 for the consumer market, and the U900 for commercial users.

The UH900 seems like a good compromise between a netbook and cell phone, although the 5.6” screen does sound a bit small for long spans at the keyboard.  Integrated 3.5G WWAN makes the UH900 a good option for mobile web surfing and checking email, and the Z530 Atom will be a nice improvement over current Atom processors.

Last week a Lenovo netbook using Intel’s upcoming PineView processor made its way through the FCC.  Today, another netbook, this time from Fujitsu, popped up on the FCC sporting PineView goodness.

The netbook, pictured above, will be known as the Fujitsu LifeBook MH380/M380, and will be part of Fujitsu’s M Series.  The device features a 10.1” 1366×768 LCD and an Atheros 802.11 b/g/n WiFi.

FCC filings don’t reveal much more about this netbook.  And there are notes that the MH380 tested is a pre-production sample, so the specs we’re seeing today may not be finalized.

Is Intel’s stranglehold on the netbook market slipping?  Today Fujitsu passed their LifeBook P3010 netbook through the FCC.  The netbook, which was announced in October, rocks a 1.6 GHz AMD Neo processor, not the ubiquitous Intel Atom.

It will be nice to have some competition in the netbook processor market.  AMD is able to make a play here because they can bundle their AMD Neo processor with integrated ATI graphics – just like Intel does with the Atom.  I’d hope that this drives up processor speed, while decreasing prices and power consumption.

The P3010 actually boasts some impressive specs.  The device has 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drvie, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi – all in a 3.5 lb package that’s just over an inch thick.
